"An irresistible new adventure for the bossy, vain, and endearing Agatha Raisin, from New York Times bestselling M.C. Beaton, "the reigning queen of the cozies" (Booklist). The picturesque Cotwsold village of Winter Parva has decided to warm the winter months after the holidays by roasting a pig in the town square. Agatha, always one for a good roasting, has arrived with her former protege;e and current rival in the private detection racket, Toni, to enjoy the merriment. But as the rotary spit is placed over a bed of fiery charcoals and the pig is carried toward its final resting place, Agatha realizes that things are not as they seem.... "Stop!" she screams suddenly. The "pig," in fact, is Gary Beech, a policeman not exactly beloved by the good people of the village. Although Agatha has every intention of leaving matters to the police, everything changes when Gary's ex-wife hires Toni to investigate. With that provocation, how could any sleuth as obviously vain and competitive (and secretly insecure) as Agatha could do anything other than solve the case herself?"-- Provided by publisher.

Entertaining! submitted by mcreader on June 17, 2013, 2:47pm The continuing adventures of MC Beaton's detective, Agatha Raisin proves to be another fun, fast read! Very enjoyable! While the murder this time is quite grotesque, there's a lot of humor in the book. In additional, MC Beaton expands on the other key reoccurring characters. AS THE PIG TURNS is still as fresh as the 1st book --- this is book #22!!! Happy Reading!

As the Pig Turns submitted by aunal on December 12, 2020, 6:07pm I read the paperback version, which, unfortunately, lacked an ending! I'm not about to buy a hardcover version just to satisfy my curiosity...
